Who Should I Start? Gabe Davis or Parker Washington

Thursday, November 20, 5:17 PM

The Buffalo Bills elevated wide receiver Gabe Davis to the 53-man active roster for Thursday night's game against the Houston Texans after placing receiver Mecole Hardman (calf) on Injured Reserve, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Hardman was injured in his season debut with Buffalo in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will now be forced to miss at least four games. The 27-year-old won't be eligible to return until Dec. 14 against the division-rival New England Patriots. Davis also made his season debut last weekend with Buffalo, catching three of his four targets for 40 yards in the 44-32 win. Veteran Curtis Samuel (elbow, neck) is also out for Thursday night, and second-year wideout Keon Coleman could be a healthy scratch for a second straight week. Meanwhile, Khalil Shakir missed practice time with a personal issue this week, and tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is out. Davis could have a bigger role in Week 12, albeit against the best defense in the NFL.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington looks like an impactful find off the waiver wire for fantasy managers who scooped him up a few weeks ago after injuries to Travis Hunter (knee) and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle). Since Week 7, Washington has played a full-time role for the Jaguars, amassing 22 receptions for 266 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets, averaging 12.4 PPR points per game and ranking as the WR28 in that time. The 23-year-old has operated mostly out of the slot and has developed a good connection with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The trade deadline acquisition of Jakobi Meyers has taken away some of the target volume, and the return of Brenton Strange in Week 12, along with the expected return of Thomas in Week 13, could complicate things and limit Washington's upside. Washington ranks as RotoBaller's WR41 in PPR leagues for Week 13
